The Supreme Council for Shariah in Nigeria (SCSN) has dismissed as false and misleading reports circulating on social media alleging that it directed Muslims to embark on prayers for the removal of the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). In a press statement issued on April 13, 2026, and signed by its Secretary General, Nafiu Baba Ahmad, the Council described the reports as baseless fabrications attributed to anonymous and unofficial sources. The statement noted that the claims, which also suggested that the Council threatened that elections would not hold if its alleged demands were not met, were entirely untrue and intended to mislead the public and create unnecessary tension. According to the Council, it never issued any directive or statement of such nature, stressing that the misinformation was an attempt to drag the organisation into partisan political controversies. The SCSN reaffirmed its stance as a non-partisan religious body committe...

The Executive Governor of Kano State, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, has confirmed Hajiya Bilkisu Shehu Maimota as the substantive Kano State Head of Civil Service, Wednesday. Her confirmation as a substantive Head of Civil Service in Kano State is sealing her rise to one of the most powerful administrative positions in the state and signaling a new phase in the ongoing reform of the public service. This was contained in the statement issued by the Governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Mustapha Muhammad, which came on the heels of a high-profile event marking the unveiling of the sixth tranche of payments aimed at clearing long-standing gratuities and death benefits owed to pensioners and families of deceased civil servants. The timing is anything but coincidental. With the government pushing aggressively to settle inherited liabilities, the confirmation of Maimota is seen as a strategic move to stabilize the bureaucracy and inject fresh energy into a system. Barely one month ago, M...

Galvanizes Support for President Tinubu's Re-election Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has declared that the African Democratic Congress (ADC) holds no political relevance in Kano State, describing the party as “dead on arrival” due to internal crisis and lack of popular support. This was contained in a statement signed by the Governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Mustapha Muhammad on Sunday. The governor made the remarks while addressing a large crowd of enthusiastic supporters in Kano, shortly after his return from Abuja, where he participated in key political engagements. Governor Yusuf said the ADC has been plagued by unresolved internal conflicts, which, according to him, have weakened its structure and diminished its chances of gaining ground in Kano’s dynamic political landscape. He further noted that beyond the crisis rocking the party, the ADC lacks the grassroots acceptance and credibility needed to compete effectively in the state. The governor emphasized that Kano rema...

Some call it the law of karma. I prefer the older formulation: what you do unto others shall, in time, be done unto you. Nigeria’s recent political history offers few more instructive illustrations of this truth than the parallel fates of Sambo Dasuki and Abubakar Malami. Those expressing sympathy for former Attorney‑General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, over his current ordeal with the EFCC and the DSS may have conveniently forgotten what befell former National Security Adviser (NSA), retired Colonel Sambo Dasuki—arrested barely a day after handing over office. His story remains one of the most troubling indictments of executive overreach in Nigeria’s democratic era: a case study in how personal vendetta, political score‑settling, and institutional disregard for judicial authority can be disguised as the pursuit of justice. THE ROOTS OF BITTER FEUD The roots of the Dasuki saga run deep into Nigeria’s military past. Dasuki played a significant role in financing and fa...
